EXPLANATORY 


In the organization of the Department of Commerce and Labor much difficult}^ has 
been experienced in obtaining a ready reference to the statutory provisions affecting 
generally the Executive Departments and defining the powers and duties of executive 
officers. This difficulty is due in part to the inadequate indexes with which many 
volumes of the statutes are supplied, and in part to the fact that legislation relating 
to the Departments, except in the case of a few well-known laws, is scattered through 
acts providing for appropriations or dealing with other general subjects. 

The title of the Revised Statutes which purports to cover the law of the Execu¬ 
tive Departments contains in fact but a portion thereof. In order to remedy in a 
measure this difficulty, and to provide a ready reference to all existing statutory 
provisions affecting the Departments in general, this Departmental Index has been 
compiled. 

V. H. METCALF, 

January 14, 1905. Secretary.
